Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) said that Republicans are trying to stop President Biden from delivering the State Of The Union address.
Sen. Ernst said on Fox News, “It is unfathomable that we don’t have a national security strategy from the President. Nor do we have his budget for the upcoming fiscal year, and because of that, we want to stop him from actually delivering the State Of The Union.”

Presidents have nothing to do with the budget. Sen. Ernst knows this. The presidential budget is a non-binding recommendation. Congress controls the budget. Congress does not need to see a presidential budget before they do their jobs.
President Biden’s National Security Strategy document can be found here. The idea that it doesn’t exist is total BS.
Republicans don’t want Biden to deliver the State Of The Union, because they want to deny him a national audience that will be bigger than any speech that Donald Trump will deliver this year.
Republicans in Congress are trying to silence Joe Biden because they don’t want him looking presidential and competent in front of the nation and the world.
It seems like Republicans are afraid of Biden, so they are trying to take away his presidential platform, because they can’t win a battle of idea as their party is being led by cognitively declining Donald Trump.
